Moringa as Herbal Medicine

2012-11-12T13:15:00.001-08:00

Herbal (plant) medicine is the most ancient form of healthcare known to humankind. Plants as medicines are mentioned in historic documents dating back many thousands of years. Furthermore, many cultures, like Amazonian Indian tribes, with no written languages, depended on oral communication to convey information and traditions which were also rich in plant stories. Since prehistoric times and continuing to our modern days, people from all over the world have grown or collected plants for the prevention and treatment of diseases. Moringa Oleifera is one of the best examples. People have long known that botanical medicine provided a complete, safe system of healing and prevention of diseases.

How is Herbal Medicine Working?    How Moringa Working?

Plants produce and contain thousands of chemical compounds that benefit the plant itself. They protect the plant from herbivores or damaging ultraviolet light attract pollinatorsor prevent competitive germination. Below are some examples of plant chemicals with biological activity in animals:

    Powerful alkaloids with specific actios on animal physiology. Caffeine and morphine are well known alkaloids. Moringa root bark, but not the rest of the plant, contains specific alkaloids such as moringinine, which increase heart and blood vessel tonus.
    Antioxidant compounds reduce the cellular damage inflicted by normal metabolism and living processes in plants, animals, and human. Most plantantioxidants are also anti-inflammatory and cancer-preventive, thus delaying aging of tissues, and degenerative diseases. Moringa is known to contain a number of powerful antioxidant flavonoids such as quercetin and kaempfero. Many vitamins in Moringa qualify as potent antioxidants as well: vitamins A, C and E.

Dietary plants are the main source of antioxidant, antiaging substances for humans!

    Vitamins are complex substances vitally important for metabolic and many other physiological reactions. Some of the vitamins (specially, vitamins A, C, E) are also potent antioxidants. Vitamins may considered nutrients but they are also viewed as “medicines“ when they bring the health back into balance, normalize and regulate the abnormal biologic processes which lead to diseases. Moriga is a powerful vitamin factory; some of those present in the various parts of the pant include vitamin C, beta-carotene (a precursor of vitamin A), vitamin E, vitamin K, and many of the B complex group of vitamins. these are reviewed extensively in the chapter “Moringa, the Nutritive Plant“.
    Antibiotics, antimicrobial and antihelmintic substances. Some of the most powerful antibiotics have been isolated from plants, but plants can also be used in their whole form to fight infections and parasite infestation. This extraordinary effect of plants is especially important whenever the local population cannot afford expensive medicines from pharmacies. Moringa has long been known to have powerful antibiotic effects and was used by various populations around the globe against infections.
    Natural hormones, enzymes, minerals, and various phytochemical (plant-derived substances) with numerous pharmacological activities in animals and humas. These are two numerous to mention, and they go beyond the purpose of this site to talk about their effects on health. Suffice it to say that plants, generally, are an inexhaustible, fantastically useful ad creative source of benificial substances that can be used in many ways to improve human lives, at all levels.

                        Niaziminin, another Moringa phytochemical, was shown to have potent anticancer activity in animal studies. Interestingly, long before research validated the idea, people traditionally have used Moringa against abdominal and other tumors (cancerous growth).

                       Hypotensive (lower blood pressure) principles niazinin, niazimicin, and niaziminin A and B were also obtained from fresh leaves. These compounds belong to the family of mustard-oil glycosides (very rare in nature).

                    One of the most exciting phytochemicals found in Moringa is beta-sitosterol. It has a chemical structure very similar to that of cholesterolin the human blood.Although beta-sitosterolis not well absorbed by the body after ingestions, when consumed with cholesterol it effectively block cholesterol`s absorption.this ultimately leads to a lower serum cholesterol level. But beta-sitosterol has many other beneficial effects for humans.

Moringa is a miracle

Moringa and Your Heart Researchers have discovered at least 19 specific nutritional compounds in Moringa Oleifera to benefit cardiovascular and heart health. Moringa’s heart healthy nutrients include Alpha-carotene, Beta-carotene, Beta-sitosterol, Carotenoids, Chlorophyll, Cystine, EFAs, Flavonoids, Glutathione, Methionine, Niacin, Niaziminins A & B, Quercetin, Selenium, Vitamins A, B2, B3, B6, C, E.
Moringa also includes an impressive amount of 25 supreme antioxidants to prevent free radical damage. Destroying free radicals may help fight cancer, heart disease and stroke, researchers believe.
Moringa is also valued for its medicinal properties as Indian, Nigerian, and Pakistani researchers have isolated Moringa’s compounds that show hypotensive activity; indeed, in many countries Moringa is used to treat high blood pressure

Early in November 2007, my family discovered that our dear mother, after a routine procedure of examining her breast and feeling an unusual lump, the doctors had discovered a rare form of Sarcoma Cancer. In January 2007, they immediately did a biopsy and determined through further tests she had an aggressive cancer attacking her body.

Within a week, she had her first mastectomy. Our mother was prescribed to have the highest doses of Chemo Therapy. Unfortunately, these lasted an average of 2 weeks in hospital stays and 2-3 weeks out as a result of serious complications of anemia, infections, neutropinia, blood transfusions, home health care and consistent IV treatments. A total of 7 surgeries!
This was almost a 6months of multiple surgeries, X-Rays, Chemo and Radiation. The doctors had no option but to dig into her chest cavity, take out a rib, a part of her sternum, fillet her back lateral muscle and take skin graphs from her left leg to enable her own skin to fill in the her chest due to the skin and flesh now missing from the previous surgeries. The surgery and loss of significant blood led her to have a blood transfusion, caused her anemia, fatigue, vomiting and neutropinia.

There were only two choices, continue radiation OR focus on quality of life. The family discussed this at length and asked us to fast and pray for an answer.
During this time, a friend consulting for Zija has also learned about the Moringa Plant. Ken Brailsford, the founder, had discovered that this plant has extensive medical research stating that the Moringa plant had cancer killing properties and it was naturally packed with a wealth of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and chlorophyll to help strengthen and detoxify immune systems, help with anemia and also known to assist at a cellular level to kill cancer cells and replenish from the inside and out, as tested in some albino rats.

My mother started the first samples in early July, A month or so passed and the doctors felt she was making a great progress post-surgery. They were impressed with her skin graphs; the back and chest were without the infection she had battled with her previous 7 surgeries.

In early September, they had a "PET" scan, which goes to the cellular level of a human body to determine cellular growth. During this time, the doctors found it unusual that they had not detected any "cancer" cells.

They immediately scanned for other areas of her body, specifically her right breast that had a lump and right kneecap where there WERE "non-cancerous" cysts. They were UNABLE to detect these cysts in her knee OR the other lump in her right breast. These cysts had decreased to almost nothing. They literally had dissolved away and vanished from her torn body. It's a good thing they had prior X-rays, otherwise they would had probably not believed these results otherwise. The doctors were surprised, but yet excited and indicated to her that whatever she was doing she needed to continue doing. She told told my that she strongly felt he was led to Zija to provide her a second chance at life!

Now, we don't say this is a cancer “cure”, but for her it was enough to regain her immune system, strength and life back...and now feel compelled to share this with others, in hopes that it may help them with their illness…and give them a second chance at life!

moringa no doubt, amazing

I agree with you about the nutritious properties moringa provides. It is little known but soon will come into it's own as the most potent nutritional supplement available anywhere. But what if you combined 2 other supplements that help enhance the power of moringa, like aloe vera and pomegranate. Pomegranate will supply you with some more antioxidants and have you noticed lately they seem to be putting it into everything but more importantly is aloe vera. aloe vera had the ability to enhance the affects of other supplements like moringa without ant side effects. It also builds your immune system and provides disease preventative properties and you won't find a better solution for any digestive problems. After using moringa powder fort a couple months, I was amazed by the benefits of what moringa was doing for me. I sleep better, my high blood pressure is at a much lower rate than it has ever been and I just feel healthier all around but I was still having problems with acid reflux. then I found a product that had moringa and aloe vera combined with pomegranate juice. Now after 2 months of taking it my acid reflux is gone and I am still benefiting from the moringa. When my friend told me about poga moonga juice, I was skeptical because I was already having great success with moringa. So I just tried to take aloe for my digestive problems but aloe isn’t very good tasting, so I tried his stuff and it was very tasty. So now I take that every n morning and take moringa capsules (moringa powder) and I feel amazing. Every morning 2 oz shoot of juice and 1 moringa capsule and I'm set for the day. But the best part is I get both from the same company, which makes it so easy to get my daily supplements.

moringa as treatment to lung cancer

Hello,

My uncle has stage 4 lung cancer and had been undergoing chemotherapy. I want him to try moringa capsules because I have read in the internet that it can improve his condition because of its medicinal benefits. I bought bottles of Moringa leaves and roots capsules for him. My question is, what is the advisable dosage for a cancer patient like him and what is the suggested intake?

Moringa dosage

Hello,
My family uses a product of Moringa for different medical conditions for the past year and love it. I know your uncle will do very well with this product. Moringa has given my mother a second chance in life and has been a crusader since then.

Either way, you have made the right decision with Moringa, this plant is being researched in most western labs and is going to be next big thing in the medical world.

Good luck with your uncle and wish you all the best.

All Moringa products are not the same. To get the full nutrition, you need ALL the beneficial parts of the tree which include the leaf, the fruit, and the seed. If you are getting it in capsule form, it probably isn't enough, and gram for gram it is much more expensive that way.

Moringa Oleifera Leaf : Your Natural Guard Against the Effects of High Cholesterol and Diabetes

2012-07-18T02:54:00.005-07:00

The Moringa oleifera plant has long been used in the Ayurvedic medical tradition of India to combat cardiovascular ailments and obesity-related issues. These treatments have proven effective in many cases, but it is only in recent years that the medical establishment has begun to investigate the scientific basis for these beneficial effects. A number of medical studies have shown marked reductions in the levels of bad cholesterol present in the bloodstream of laboratory test animals.

Cholesterol and health

Cholesterol is a necessary element in building and repairing cells within the body. There are two basic types of cholesterol. Low-density and high-density lipoproteins, known as LDLs and HDLs respectively, play very different roles in maintaining physical health. HDLs help to eliminate fatty deposits from the bloodstream, enhancing cardiovascular health and promoting healthy veins and arteries. These forms of cholesterol are typically denser and more compact than their low-density counterparts. LDLs are better known as bad cholesterol and have nearly the opposite effect on the body, causing lipid deposits to form in blood vessels and contributing to heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases. White blood cells in the bloodstream attack LDL buildups, causing inflammation and worsening blockages caused by this form of cholesterol.

Potential risks of LDLs

Elevated levels of bad cholesterol in the body are associated with an increased risk of atheroschlerosis and arteriosclerotic vascular disease as well as cardiovascular disease. Additionally, LDLs have been implicated in certain immune system deficiencies, making them a significant threat to health and wellness. Controlling the level of LDLs in the blood and circulatory system is crucial to extending life and improving overall physical condition, especially in largely sedentary or overweight individuals.

The role of diet

Increased intake of LDLs results in higher levels in the bloodstream. However, medical studies show that 80% of cholesterol results from production within the body itself, primarily within the liver during the breakdown of food. While maintaining a healthy, low-fat diet is helpful in reducing cholesterol, dietary changes alone are usually not sufficient to manage bad cholesterol levels effectively.

Moringa and cholesterol

A study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology in 2000 showed a significant reduction in the levels of bad cholesterol in laboratory rats when moringa supplements were added to their normal daily diet. This was true in rats fed a high-fat diet as well as a standard diet; the moringa leaves reduced cholesterol levels overall. The control groups were also fed normal and high-fat diets and exhibited no such reductions in LDLs present in blood serum, further confirming the significant effect moringa supplements can produce. These results offer concrete evidence for claims made by Ayurvedic medical personnel for centuries that moringa leaves offer measurable protection against the buildup of bad cholesterol in the blood.

Implications for health care

The results of the Lipid Research Clinics Primary Prevention Trial published in 1984 indicate that overall reduction in cholesterol levels had a direct and measurable effect on the number of new instances of heart disease and angina. In layman’s terms, reducing cholesterol also reduces the chance of serious cardiovascular illness. In fact, reducing the bad cholesterol levels by 25% can produce a correlating reduction in heart attacks, strokes and other cholesterol-related illnesses by as much as 50%, making cholesterol reduction a major goal in achieving improved outcomes for patients who may be predisposed to these conditions. Incorporating moringa supplements into the daily diets of individuals who are statistically likely to experience high cholesterol levels or who may have already been diagnosed with high LDL levels may provide significant protection, especially when combined with other prescription medications.

Conclusions

The evidence that moringa Oleifera supplements can combat high cholesterol is overwhelming. By incorporating these natural supplements into a healthy daily dietary plan, individuals can protect themselves against the effects of high cholesterol levels more effectively even in the absence of other major lifestyle changes.

Moringa Oleifera: A treatment for Diabetes

Diabetes is a disease that is characterized by problems involving the hormone insulin. In healthy people, the pancreas releases insulin; insulin then works to help the body use and store the fat and sugar that is derived from the food that people eat. With diabetes, insulin can be compromised in a couple of different ways. In some cases, the pancreas doesn't produce any insulin at all. Other times, the body does not react in the right way to insulin - this is known as "insulin resistance." Finally, diabetes is sometimes characterized by a pancreas that produces an insufficient volume of insulin.

The Two Types of Diabetes

It's important to understand that diabetes is a disease that has no cure. Once a person develops diabetes, they will suffer from the condition for the rest of their life. Although diabetes may be triggered by a variety of different phenomena involving the pancreas and insulin production - or lack thereof - it can also be divided into two distinct types.

Type 1 Diabetes - Type 1 diabetes typically first arises in people under the age of 20, although it can happen at any age. Insulin-producing cells - known as beta cells - in the pancreas are completely destroyed by the body's immune system. In turn, the pancreas can no longer produce any insulin and insulin injections must be administered.

Type 2 Diabetes - With type 2 diabetes, a person's pancreas still produces insulin; the problem is that it either doesn't create enough insulin, or the person's body is resistant to the insulin that is produced. Type 2 diabetes commonly occurs in obese and overweight individuals - usually over the age of 40 - and is sometimes called "adult onset diabetes."

Managing Diabetes

There is no cure for diabetes. However, there are several ways to manage the condition in order to keep insulin at the proper level. There are several different techniques and strategies for managing diabetes. Some of them include:

carefully monitoring one's diet in order to keep blood sugar levels in check;
using insulin injections as needed to maintain optimal levels in those whose bodies don't produce the hormone;
keeping a close eye on blood sugar levels by using special kits that measure insulin and sugar in the blood; and
following an exercise routine in order to keep blood pressure levels in check.

Moringa Oleifera: A Natural Treatment for Diabetes

As with any disease or condition, doctors and researchers are constantly seeking new ways to treat and manage diabetes. People are more concerned about using harsh, synthetic medications than ever before, which is what makes the promise of a tree called Moringa Oleifera all the more exciting. Moringa Oleifera is a tree that is originally native to India, but is now grown across the globe. As it happens, people in many developing countries - particular in Africa - have been using Moringa Oleifera to treat and manage the symptoms of diabetes for years.

Why does Moringa Oleifera hold so much promise for those who suffer from diabetes?

Primarily because of its many amazing, natural benefits. Moringa Oleifera has been shown to naturally boost the immune system, which usually becomes compromised in those who suffer from type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Moringa Oleifera has also been shown to possess many key anti-inflammatory benefits; diabetes often causes circulatory problems which can be managed through anti-inflammatory supplements. There are no negative side effects associated with Moringa Oleifera use, meaning that it is a safe, natural way for people to manage their blood sugar and care for their diabetes symptoms. It's just one more option for the many people who have to cope with this serious condition.

Moringa Oleifera Products: Treatment in HIV/AIDS, High Blood Pressure, Breast Cancer, Anaemia, and Malnutrition.

2012-07-14T02:58:00.002-07:00

The Moringa Tree with its edible leaves, flowers, and pods are one of most power packed, nutritious trees in the world. The article was written on that subject here, but it is also one of the most healing trees in the world. The entire tree is either used for food, medicine, or fodder. It has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries to both prevent and treat almost 300 diseases.

The information in this article is not based on double blind research but on the historical and current usage of Moringa leaves, flowers, and pods in India, and many other countries. This is how the people have used it in the past and how they use it now. Much of this information was observed and documented in the different health projects by physicians in their treatment of AIDS, malnutrition, and disease. In India, Ayurvedic physicians use it in their standard treatment protocols.

How can Moringa leaves have an impact on so many problems?

Many health problems are due to poor nutrition, malnutrition and imbalanced disease states, which result in immune system breakdown and disease. When you correct those imbalances and nutritional deficiencies with super packed nutritious food, it is bound to improve health and disease states. The ability for Moringa leaves, flowers, bark, and pods to have such diverse healing effects is due to the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and healing elements “nature-packed” in the tree.

A review of Moringa's power packed nutrition: For gram-for-gram analysis, 100g sample bases. Here is a nutritional breakdown of Fresh Moringa Leaves: 7 times the Vitamin C of Oranges; 4 times the Calcium of Milk; 3 times the Potassium of Bananas; 2 times the Protein of Yogurt; 4 times the Vitamin A of Carrots; and ¾ the iron of Spinach.

Moringa leaves when dried become a even greater, powerhouse of nutrition containing: ½ the Vitamin C of Oranges; 17 times the Calcium of Milk; 15 times the Potassium of Bananas; 9 times the Protein of Yogurt; 25 times the Vitamin A of Carrots; and 20 times the Iron in Spinach. All elements except the Vitamin C is increased when you dry the leaves in the shade. Drying the leaves in direct sunlight decreases its nutritional values.

How Moringa and Artemisia Annua Leaves benefit AIDS Patients:
There are health projects going on in Tanzania, Musoma, and other areas. There is a real AIDS crisis in these areas. In these AIDS cases, the doctors have found that the combination of two herbs, Moringa and Artemisia Annua, improved the energy, stamina, and CD4 counts of the AIDS patients. Some of their patients came in so weak, they were not able to walk or care for themselves. They improved so dramatically that many were able to go back to work and many stayed to help the incoming patients. These dramatic improvements were documented over and over again by the doctors in these health projects.

How the herbs (Moringa Oleifera and Artemisia Annua powders) were used in the treatment protocols:
The physicians combined dried Moringa leaves powder with Artemisia Annua powder and then added one heaping teaspoonful of the powder to make a tea. A litre of tea using 5 grams of the powder was given 3-4 times a day to the patient while the symptoms were acute. Later when the patients improved, it was reduced to a cup a day. When you consider the super nutrition in Moringa leaves, it is easy to understand how the Aids patients would improve. The power packed nutrition would bolster their immune function, strength, stamina and ability to live a more normal active life.

Moringa does NOT cure AIDS but helps the AIDS patient live longer and improves their quality of life and health. Often the AIDS patient does not die from AIDS, but from one of the opportunist infections that prey on their compromised immune system. This same therapies of the two herbs are said to be affirmatively used for the treatment of seven different kinds of cancer namely; Cancers of the Breast, Liver, Pancreas, Kidney, Abdominal, Borne, Prostrate and Colon. For details, please visit ANAMED website.

Moringa Leaves and its effects on blood pressure, blood sugar, breast milk production, and Sickle Cell Anaemia:

In India, the leaves are used to normalize blood pressure and to treat anxiety. In 1994, a team of researchers identified a new nitride and mustard oil glycoside that demonstrated its ability to lower blood pressure.

An infusion of the leaf is used to reduce sugar levels though not as effectively as the standard hypoglycemia medicine.

Moringa leaves mixed with honey then followed with coconut milk drunk 2 to 3 times a day is used for diarrhea, dysentery and colitis.

Moringa leaves have been observed and documented by doctors in the health projects to increase breast milk production and the health of nursing mothers. This is due to the nutrition in the leaves especially the protein, calcium, and iron content.

Given to failure to thrive infants, it encourages weight gain and improved health due to the super packed nutritional content of the leaves.

Moringa leaves are given to improve anemia in infants, children and adults because of its high iron content. Iron tablets cause stomach distress, constipation, and are difficult to digest. Iron tablets are not easy to obtain in these poor communities. Given their compromised digestive systems due to malnutrition, the iron tablets would most likely not even be utilized by the body.

Researchers have not identified all the various elements in the plant that affect these health problems. It may be that in the overall improvement of the patient's nutritional status that these imbalances are corrected. Improved nutrition supports the patient's own body mechanisms to heal and correct these conditions.

Why You Need Moringa Caffeine Free Herbal Tea for Your Wellness

2012-07-09T16:47:00.002-07:00

Don't drink, smoke, or do drugs? Think you've got no vices? Think again. If you drink coffee, caffeine based tea, cola or indulge in the occasional piece of chocolate, then you're using a drug. Believe it or not, caffeine has the same pharmacological effects on the body as many of the substances we associate with doing harm. Of course, coffee is so well integrated into our culinary culture that we barely give its health effects a second thought.

Apart from being highly addictive and causing unpleasant withdrawal symptoms if we stop drinking it suddenly, research shows that even a little bit of coffee may reduce fertility by damaging sperm. It's also bad news if you're pregnant. Caffeine seems to affect the amount of time the baby spends resting, which could lead to abnormal behaviour later on.

But every cloud has a silver lining. Ironically, caffeine is being administered to pre-term babies to help them breathe. It also appears to increase alertness and improve performance under some circumstances.

To drink or not to drink? That is the question . . .

Ten thing you didn't Know about Caffeine

1. Caffeine Consumption

Global consumption has been estimated to be 120,000 tonnes per annum. This is the approximate equivalent of one caffeine-containing beverage per day for each of the planet's 5 billion plus inhabitants. So, caffeine is almost certainly the most widely consumed psycho-active substance in the world.

As a beverage the worldwide consumption of tea is surpassed only by water.

2. Where Did Caffeine Come From?

The coffee "tree" is indigenous to Ethiopia, but its cultivation and use as a beverage stem largely from Arabia. In Arabic it was referred to as gahwah, the poetic term for wine. The Turkish equivalent is kahveh, which became cafe in French and kaffee in German.

Apparently the Ethiopians mixed crushed dried coffee beans with fat which they rolled into balls and used as food on journeys. By the early 16th century the beverage made from infusing ground roasted beans was well-established in the Islamic world, although a fundamentalist element felt that coffee was an intoxicant and it was banned for a time in several places.

Coffee shops sprang up throughout Europe - coffee was the fashionable drug of the 17th and 18th centuries; its delights, and the cravings for it, were the subject of J.S. Bach's "The Coffee Cantata".

The British were the first to tax coffee; in 1660 a duty of 4 pence per gallon was imposed. The popularity of coffee lead to anti-coffee petitions such as "What a curse it is that ordinary working men should sit the whole day in coffee houses simply to chatter about politics, while their unhappy children are wailing at home for lack of bread!"

It's been suggested that America owes its present day coffee habits to the famous Boston "tea-party" of 1773. As a protest against oppression and excessive taxes, citizens of Boston boarded British ships moored in the Harbour and tipped their cargoes of tea overboard. Since that time, the United States has become the major coffee-consuming nation of the world.

3. How Much Caffeine Is In Different Beverages And Food?

It's usually presumed that a regular cup of coffee contains 100mg of caffeine but it may range between 40 and 176 mg and the mean is closer to 85mg. There's probably less caffeine in a cup of tea - one study showed a median of 27mg per cup with a range of 8 to 91 mg. An ounce of sweet chocolate may contain between 75 and 150mg of combined methylxanthines and a cup of chocolate or chocolate milk may contain 150-300mg.

The principal dietary sources of caffeine are overwhelmingly coffee and tea. Coffee accounts for some 54 per cent of ingested caffeine, while tea accounts for some 43 per cent. The remaining 3% consists mostly of caffeine ingested in the form of cocoa and chocolate products, various fabricated soft drinks and mate (a tea drunk especially in South America).

In Australia a 375ml can of Coca Cola and Pepsi Cola contains about 40mg of caffeine. Regulations allow a maximum of 145mg of caffeine per kilogram of cola-type drink (54.5mg per 375ml can). "Jolt" Cola - said to have "twice the caffeine" - actually contains the permissible legal limit of around 54mg per bottle.

In the USA, the permissible limit of caffeine in cola drinks and other carbonated beverages is 200mg per litre. The US drinks also have higher levels of sugar. Caffeine's bitter taste acts as a flavouring agent to counteract the sweetness of the sugar.

4. What Caffeine Gets Up To In The Body

Moringa Mint Tea

Caffeine is absorbed rapidly into the bloodstream from the gastro-intestinal tract. It reaches maximum concentration within about an one hour. The blood distributes it throughout the body. It even manages to pass through the blood-brain barrier.

The half life of caffeine in the human body varies between 3 to 7 hours. Throughout the body it increases metabolic rate by around 10%. Females metabolise caffeine 20-30% more quickly than males. However, it will take women on "the pill" twice as long to metabolise caffeine as women who are ovulating.

Early experiments showed that low concentrations of caffeine may produce small decreases in heart rate, whereas higher conce
ntrations may make the heart beat abnormally fast.

In the brain it constricts the cerebral blood vessels. If you're used to drinking several cups of coffee a day but then you quit, those blood vessels will dilate, maybe enough to give you a powerful headache. It's one of the best known withdrawal symptoms.

Many people know that caffeine is a strong diuretic - it makes you urinate more than usual. Apparently this is due to increasing the blood flow through the kidneys.

It can produce insomnia - delaying the onset of sleep and reducing total sleeping time. It has a small effect on respiration by increasing blood flow through the lungs and increasing the supply of air by relaxing bronchiolar and alveolar smooth muscle. That's why it's proving effective in treating the breathing problems of some prematurely born infants.

Some people experience tremors after drinking coffee and tea. That's thought to be due to over-activation of the central nervous system.

5. Sobering Thoughts About Caffeine

"And I'd better have a big cup of extra strong black coffee to get me past the breathalyser."

Unfortunately, this is one of the most enduring myths about caffeine. True, it may manage to puncture that aura of numbness and make you feel a little sharper but it's no better at sobering you up and lowering your blood alcohol level than a glass of water.

On the other hand caffeine is a good friend the morning after. Alcohol can give you a thumping headache by enlarging cranial blood vessels. Caffeine constricts them and so may bring some relief from the hangover blues. That's why it's an ingredient in some over-the-counter pain killers.

6. How Caffeine Disturbs Your Sleep

If you value a good night's sleep then tea or coffee at bedtime probably isn't a good idea. Caffeine lengthens the time it takes to fall asleep, reducing your total sleeping time. But almost unique among drugs, it doesn't alter the normal stages of sleep. That's why it's better to use caffeine to stay awake than other substances like speed.

7. Caffeine, Conception and Babies

One recent report from the US revealed that women who drink in excess of one cup of coffee every day are only half as likely to conceive as those who drink less than a cup a day.

The odds are considerably worse if women drink more than two and a half cups a day. Then they are nearly 5 times less likely to conceive as women who drink no coffee at all.

Because there's not been as much research
on caffeine as there has on nicotine and alcohol, this drug's effects on human development are not yet known. However a number of studies have shown that as little as 2 or 3 cups of brewed coffee every day during pregnancy can result in lowered infant birthweight.

Other studies have claimed that caffeine consumption during pregnancy is associated with prematurity, poorer reflexes and neuromuscular development.

It also appears that heavy caffeine use can affect a newborn baby.

When doctors ask mothers if they have been taking drugs they will think of drugs like heroin but they will not necessarily think of caffeine - it's a social drink, not a drug to them. Because caffeine is so widely used many people drink quite large quantities and don't realise that they have taken something potentially harmful to the baby. And this doesn't apply just to coffee and tea. Some pregnant women drink large amounts of cola beverages which also contain significant levels of caffeine.

Caffeine gets across the placenta very easily and if the mother continues to ingest her coffee or caffeine-containing beverage the foetus will end up having as much caffeine as the mother. If the mother stops drinking then within 24 hours the foetus may experience withdrawal symptoms. The same thing may happen immediately after birth when the baby is suddenly cut off from the maternal supply of caffeine, although it should be pointed out that this isn't common. The withdrawal from caffeine has been described as similar to what is seen in babies born to heroin addicts. These babies will cry, they don't sleep, they are agitated and restless, they wriggle and abrade the skin on their hands and knees, and they sweat.

There's a suggestion that such withdrawal "dysfunction" may be a contributing factor in infant disorders like neonatal apnoea (where the baby "forgets" to breathe properly) and sudden infant death syndrome. (For further information see "A Guide to Reproduction: Social Issues And Human Concerns" by Dr Irina Pollard, Cambridge University Press, 1994).

8. Caffeine And Muscle Fatigue

A Canadian researcher, Prof Howard Green, has carried out experiments looking at the role of caffeine in helping to overcome muscle fatigue in the quadraceps (thigh) muscles.

Green is from the University of Waterloo and in 1995 visited Cumberland College, part of the University of Sydney's Faculty of Health Sciences.

In his Canadian experiments, muscle fatigue was induced electrically and then caffeine tablets were taken which were the equivalent of 8-10 cups of coffee. Within an hour the effect of reducing fatigue could be noticed. It probably does this by making more calcium available to the muscles.

Professor Green cautions that his experiment only showed effects of caffeine after fatigue. He doesn't know what happens if you take it before exercising - whether or not it might help prevent muscle fatigue. That's a question he hopes to answer soon.

In whole body exercise caffeine can increase the performance of muscles. The theory is that it does this by making more fatty acids available to the muscles than usual and that delays depletion of glygocen reserves. It's known that depletion of glycogen from the muscles is tied in with fatigue. This kind of benefit should be relevant to endurance events such as running and cycling. But you may need to drink the equivalent of 8/9 cups of coffee to feel the effect!!

9. Does Caffeine Make You Mentally More Alert?

Too much caffeine may not be good for complex reasoning tasks, but it can improve mental speed-related tasks. These are some of the results of research by Dr Paula Mitchell, now working at the Alfred Hospital in Melbourne.

Moringa Green Tea

In 1989 Paula carried out a study which looked at 3 groups of volunteers (around 8 people in each group) divided into low, moderate and high caffeine users. The volunteers visited the lab 8 times at different times of day and night (7am, 1pm, 7pm and 1am). Before the tests began they swallowed either a caffeine capsule or a placebo capsule. In the lab they were given a series of performance tests covering short term memory, mental arithmetic, verbal reasoning (which is like logic), and a serial search task (which is a measure of vigilance).

Caffeine actually improved performance in more simple mental tasks like searching for one particular letter in a string of printed letters. Mental speed is the critical thing in this test.

Caffeine improved performance best at the 7am testing time - when the body's 24 hour rhythm of arousal is at its lowest.

By contrast Mitchell found that the high-caffeine user group didn't perform as well as the others on more complex tasks such as verbal reasoning.

10. Caffeine And Personality Differences

Recent research in Melbourne suggests that caffeine consumption may be tied in with personality differences including mood, or whether a person is a night owl or a lark (early morning person).

As the result of a questionnaire Dr Paula Mitchell found that so-called "night owls" or extreme evening people had much higher levels of caffeine usage than "larks" or extreme morning people. (Extreme evening people and extreme morning people each account for about 10% of the population). The evening people also scored higher on both the extroversion scale and the impulsivity, risk-taking scale. They typically find it difficult to get up in the morning and give themselves big hits of caffeine to wake themselves up. (It's quite possible they are actually suffering from caffeine withdrawal. In other words if they hadn't been drinking coffee the night before they may not have felt like this in the morning.)

Dr Mitchell also says there may be a link between extrovert behaviour and higher caffeine usage.

Caffeine seems to disrupt the body clock rhythms of extreme morning people. By contast the rhythms of the evening types are disturbed by the absence of caffeine. Dr Mitchell believes evening people use caffeine to keep their rhythms regular.

One of the strongest findings was that if morning people had caffeine after about 10am, their mood went down quite dramatically. This could be because caffeine has disrupted their underlying rhythms.

More studies are validating the status of Moringa oleifera as 'miracle and cure all tree.'

2012-07-09T16:40:00.000-07:00

THE American Chemical Society (ACS) has joined the list of organisations validating the efficacy of Moringa oleifera as a cheap and sustainable product for purifying drinking water, and tackling malnutrition, communicable and non-communicable diseases in developing nations.
Until now, the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO) have promoted moringa leaf for years as an inexpensive health booster for poor countries, especially in addressing malnutrition.

Commonly known in the English language as the ben oil tree, the horseradish tree, or the drumstick tree, Moringa oleifera belongs to the plant family Moringaceae.
In Nigeria, it is called Ewe ile, Ewe igbale, or Idagbo monoye (the tree which grows crazily) in Yoruba; Gawara, Habiwal hausa, Konamarade, or Rini maka in Fulani; Bagaruwar maka, Bagaruwar masar, Barambo, Koraukin zaila, Shipka hali, Shuka halinka, Rimin nacara, Rimin turawa, Zogall, or Zogalla-gandi in Hausa; and Odudu oyibo, Okochi egbu, Okwe olu, Okwe oyibo, Okughara ite, Uhe, Ikwe beke in Ibo.

The latest episode in the ACS award-winning "Global challenges/chemistry colutions" podcast series describes how the seeds of the "miracle tree" can be used to produce clean drinking water. The research appears in ACS' journal Langmuir.

The new water-treatment process requiring only tree seeds and sand could purify and clarify water inexpensively and sustainably in the developing world, where more than one billion people lack access to clean drinking water, scientists report.

Removing the disease-causing microbes and sediment from drinking water requires technology not always available in rural areas of developing countries. For an alternative approach, scientists looked to Moringa oleifera, also called the "miracle tree," a plant grown in equatorial regions for food, traditional medicine and biofuel.

In the podcast, Dr. Stephanie B. Velegol, a researcher at Pennsylvania State University, explains that past research showed that a protein in Moringa seeds could clean water. One approach creates water that cannot be stored, and the other approach is too expensive and complicated. The researchers wanted to develop a simpler and less expensive way to harness the seeds' power.
To do that, they added an extract of the seed containing the positively charged Moringa protein (which binds to sediment and kills microbes) to negatively charged sand. The resulting "functionalised," or "f-sand," proved effective in capturing lab-grown Escherichia coli and damaging their membranes. The f-sand was also able to remove sediment from water samples. The results open the possibility that f-sand can provide a simple, locally sustainable process for producing storable drinking water, Velegol says.

Meanwhile, recent studies have uncovered how Moringa tea could be used by midwives to increase breast milk production in lactating mothers. According to an Agriculture Business Week news article, Moringa leaf has been promoted by the WHO for years as an inexpensive health booster for poor countries.

The United States Department of Agriculture recognises Moringa leaf for its high vitamin A, C, iron, and High Density Lipo-protein (HDL) "good" cholesterol levels. The herb has been scientifically proven as an anti-bacterial agent, and as a way to improve glucose tolerance in diabetic rats. Moringa root bark has been clinically demonstrated to be an effective treatment for post-menopausal ovarian cancer, but should not be used by women of childbearing age.

Also, there is promising potential for both water- and alcohol-based Moringa leaf tinctures to fight a variety of bacterial infections, according to a 2011 clinical study published in the Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Medicine.

In this study, scientists soaked paper discs with several strengths of Moringa leaf extract. While the Moringa leaf tinctures could not kill Escherichia coli, Salmonella enteritidis, and Pseudonomas aeruginosa, moringa was found to be effective against Staphylococcus aureus, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Aeromonas cavaie, and Enterococcus faecalis.

According to another study, Moringa leaf may improve glucose tolerance in diabetics based on a clinical study involving rats. In a 2006 study performed at Tokyo University of Agriculture, Moringa was fed to rats with diabetes in order to determine the effects of moringa leaf powder on glucose tolerance.

The researchers noted "major" amounts of polyphenols in Moringa, especially quercitin and rutin. After ingesting Moringa powder, the rats showed a significant reduction in their blood glucose levels as compared to the control groups during a glucose tolerance test."

The scientists concluded that Moringa did have a positive effect on lowering glucose levels.
They believe this is because of the quercitin content in moringa. While insulin levels were not monitored in this study, the researchers remarked that Moringa leaf might have a positive effect on insulin secretion and action.

Also, Moringa root bark has been shown to kill ovarian cancer cells due to unique phytochemicals. Medscape General Medicine reported a study involving Moringa root's effectiveness against post-menopausal epithelial ovarian cancer. This cancer is caused by a combination of failing ovaries and an over-productive pituitary gland. The only herb, which has been clinically demonstrated to have a positive effect on female reproductive system cancer is Moringa oleifera, because it has both female hormonal and anti-tumour properties.

A review by U.S. researchers from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Department of Pharmacology and Molecular Sciences; and Cullman Cancer Chemoprotection Centre, Baltimore, Maryland noted: "This tree has in recent times been advocated as an outstanding indigenous source of highly digestible protein, Ca, Fe, Vitamin C, and carotenoids suitable for utilisation in many of the so-called "developing" regions of the world where "undernourishment is a major concern."

The study published in Trees for Life Journal is titled: "Moringa oleifera: A review of the medical evidence for its nutritional, therapeutic, and prophylactic properties. Part 1."

According to the review, Moringa trees have been used to combat malnutrition, especially among infants and nursing mothers. Three non-governmental organisations in particular - Trees for Life, Church World Service and Educational Concerns for Hunger Organisation - have advocated Moringa as "natural nutrition for the tropics." Its leaves can be eaten fresh, cooked, or stored as dried powder for many months without refrigeration, and reportedly without loss of nutritional value. Moringa is especially promising as a food source in the tropics because the tree is in full leaf at the end of the dry season when other foods are typically scarce.

The benefits for the treatment or prevention of disease or infection that may accrue from either dietary or topical administration of Moringa preparations (example extracts, decoctions, poultices, creams, oils, emollients, salves, powders, porridges) are not quite so well known.
Moringa preparations have been cited in the scientific literature as having antibiotic, antitrypanosomal, hypotensive, antispasmodic, antiulcer, anti-inflammatory, hypo-cholesterolemic, and hypoglycemic activities, as well as having considerable efficacy in water purification by flocculation, sedimentation, antibiosis and even reduction of Schistosome cercariae titer.

Scientists chose to test Moringa root bark because it contains two more alkaloid chemicals than does the rest of the plant. The researchers in this study believe it is these chemicals in the Moringa root bark, which affect sex hormones. Traditional herbal medicine bears this belief out.
"Moringa root bark is not a "female tonic" herb. It should not be taken by women during their childbearing years, because it is an abortifacicant. The plant chemicals in Moringa root cause the fertilized egg not to be able to attach to the lining of the uterine wall. Traditional literature indicates that Moringa root was used as a permanent form of birth control. Moringa root bark can cause violent and potentially fatal uterine contractions. However, Moringa leaf is a wonderful herb to help breastfeeding mothers produce more milk for their babies."

Part 4: Nigeria Develop Artemisia Tea and Moringa Tea to Fight against Malaria and other Dreaded Diseases

2012-07-07T23:47:00.000-07:00

"Let your Food be your medicine and your medicine be your Food" - Hippocrates (Father of modern Medicine)

Medicinal: over 8,000 herbal plants could potentially be used for food, medicine and cosmetic

Nigeria Medicinal Plants Development Company has developed food supplements using medicinal plants that could help millions of Nigerians treat malaria and anaemia.

The products include two tea brands, each made from leaves of antimalarial plant artemisa and moringa (drumstick).

A third tea Artemisa Plus is a blend of both plants. The fourth product Morigvite is a powdered food supplement from moringa, said the company’s managing director Zainab Sharif.

More “herbal products will come out from this range of medicinal plants,” she predicted.

Moringa alone, commonly known as zogale, is thought to have at least 13 by-products from powder and tea to oils.

“Adding value”

Nigeria Medicinal Plants Development Company has developed food supplements using medicinal plants that could help millions of Nigerians treat malaria and anaemia.
The products include two tea brands, each made from leaves of antimalarial plant artemisa and moringa (drumstick).
A third tea Artemisa Plus is a blend of both plants. The fourth product Morigvite is a powdered food supplement from moringa, said the company’s managing director Zainab Sharif.
More “herbal products will come out from this range of medicinal plants,” she predicted.
Moringa alone, commonly known as zogale, is thought to have at least 13 by-products from powder and tea to oils.
“Adding value”
Since it was introduced from Nigeria, artemisa plant has adapted and produced in Nigeria, better in the North with more sunshine.
Trials are in a second phase, but cultivating the plant has been limited to less than 50 hectares of land in the absence of technology to extract artemisinin from the plant—the active ingredient needed for antimalarial by pharmaceutical companies.
Nigeria is looking to acquire a $5 million, 10-tonne-capacity patented extraction technology from Vietnam after similar negotiations with China—where the plant is indigenous—floundered.
The company had hoped for a partnership in exchange for the patent, but China “indicated they were not interested in coming to partner with us,” said Sharif, noting that Nigeria’s large market for antimalarials may have been a reason.
The technology will ensure artemisa is processed into artemisin—raw material for antimalarial used by over 400 pharmaceutical companies in Nigeria.

Sharif: "This is showcasing the products."

“Work already done”

The food supplements are seen as addition of value to medicinal plants within NMPDC’s mandate. At least 8,000 species of plants are considered medicinal in Nigeria, but fewer than 15% are utilised.

“What we needed to do is to look at the work already done,” Sharif remarked.
The products to be launched next week are meant to allow Nigerians access to the benefits of artemisa, used for treating malaria.

Moringa is thought to boost immune system, treat anaemia and malnutrition and aid child weaning.

The company also assured that cultivating the plants would create jobs for growers of artemisa and moringa, following the examples of Vietnam, which requires 2,000 farmers to produce every 200 tonne of artemisa plant

Part 3: The Use Of Natural compounds and The Future of Anti-Malarial Treatment

2012-07-07T22:59:00.003-07:00

In the run up to World Malaria Day on the 25th April 2011, BioMed Central's open access journal, Malaria Journal takes a long hard look at the development of natural compounds for use in the fight against malaria.

There are over 200 million cases of malaria each year with 85% of all cases being children under five years old and, according to the World Health Organisation, in 2009 malaria was responsible for 781,000 deaths worldwide. Low cost treatment is available, 100 million children a year are treated with Artemisinin combination therapy at a cost of about 30 cents per child, but resistance of the parasite to this treatment is increasing. In the face of this resistance, researchers are turning to traditional medicine to provide a starting point for the development of new drugs.

Traditional remedies are widely used especially in areas of poverty or where there is no access to medical treatment. The combination of artemisinin, flavanoids, and other compounds which occur naturally in the leaves of Artemisia annua, increases the effectiveness of the treatment and decreases metabolism of the active ingredient. Circumin (from turmeric) has anti-malarial properties and is being tested for use against cerebral malaria. Adding piperine (from black pepper seeds) to circumin increases the effectiveness of circumin 2000 times. Plant extracts such as lemon eucalyptus, citronella, and neem oil also have use as insect repellents but are not as yet recommended for use by the Environmental Protection Agency.

Researchers suggest following the Research Initiative on Traditional Anti-Malarial Methods (RITAM), which shows a consensus of observational and laboratory results with clinical clearance of parasites. They also advocate the inclusion of native healers for the review of disease surveillance, ethnobotanical treatments, and changes in health care policy to increase the validity of these traditional medicines.

However, there is currently no concerted research into the effectiveness of natural compounds as anti-malarials or as malaria prophylaxis. Consequently, there is a need for partnership organisations, such as African Network for Drugs and Diagnostics Innovation (ANDi), to promote standardisation in observing traditional remedies and the subsequent pharmacological purification and testing of compounds and combinations in the clinic.

As side RiTAM, other organizations are also joining forces to fight against the dark forces of malaria parasite. One of such organisation is the Winnenden, Germany based Action for National Medicine (ANAMED) headed by DR. Hans Martin-Hirt, a renowned Plant Pharmacist and Human Immunologist. Anamed is in the fore-front of strongly deveoping and propagating the use of Natural medicine to fight dreaded diseases like malaria, cancer and HIV/AIDS and other common African disease conditions through the use of Natural Medicine locally available to Africans.

Part 2: Moringa Oleifera and Artemisia Annua for Effective Treatments of Malaria, Cancer and HIV/AIDS

2012-07-04T12:45:00.000-07:00

For various reasons malaria continues to be a growing problem in Africa. The key factor is the widespread resistance of Plasmodium Falciparum to conventional anti-malarial drugs, such as chloroquine, mefloquine, sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) and amodiaquine. Overall, it is estimated that malaria costs Africa more than $12 billion annually, even though it could be controlled for a fraction of this amount.

WHO recommends that all countries experiencing resistance to conventional therapies should use combination therapies, preferably those containing artemisinin derivatives for P. Falciparum Malaria, called ACTs (Artemisinin Combination Therapies), which now appears to be the only known reliable treatment for malaria. However, lately resistance to ACT has been observed in Thailand-Cambodia border areas. Interestingly, previous incidences of parasite resistance for other anti-malarial substances have also been noted around the same region.

International funding available for malaria prevention, including mosquito-control strategies, and for treatment is estimated at $1.1 billion in 2008, but resource needs are estimated to be much higher exceeding $5 billion per year. International efforts to address malaria have intensified in recent years and the U.N. Millennium Development Goals include targets to reduce the impact of malaria by 2020.

Notwithstanding the malaria control strategies reported to have been widely applied such as, free distribution of mosquito nets in malaria endemic areas and increased level of funding in public and private sector directed at new drugs and vaccines, the world is still awaiting an inexpensive and effective treatment for malaria, acceptable by all and sundry.

Using Artemisinin to Fight Malaria Scourge

Artemisia Annua containing Artemisinin is primarily available in China, Vietnam and to some extent in East Africa. Besides the limited availability of the plant itself, the artemisinin content is also low, rarely above 0.8% on large scale basis.

Since the isolation and characterization of artemisinin in China, the pharmaceutical initiatives have been based on using only the pure artemisinin or its derivatives, either as a mono-therapy, or as ACT, i.e., Artemisinin combined with other previously developed “synthetic” anti-malarial chemicals. This to my belief is a development that will completely hinder the effectiveness of the project. Because of the over 300 phyto-chemical components contained in Artemisia plant, at least 10 are anti-malaria agents and the rest still very beneficial to well being of human body including, vitamins and minerals, Micro and Micro nutrients. This is what makes Artemisia plant on its own a combined therapy. So, one will wonder on what basis should the additional use of any “synthetic” chemical be combine with Artemisinin, given the fact that artemisinin itself is an extract of artmisia. This is one major factor that has provided some weaknesses (like bacterial resitance to the drug) for the treatment of malaria scourge.

However, apart from development of anti-malarial vaccines on going for the past 25 years, researches around the world has been focused on chemical and bio-synthesizing of the artemisinin compound, and to improve the specie to produce higher than average of 1.5% to 2.5 % or higher artemisinin content, which has been successful to a large extent. However, its impact has not yet been accessed.

Although it is recognized that the stereo-specificity of the artemisinin molecule makes total synthesis very difficult and may very well not be adaptable to industrial productions at acceptable price levels, the initiative is still being pursued aggressively. In contrast, the Phytochemicals investigation of Artemisia has revealed an ‘abnormally’ wide range of endoperoxides and hydroperoxides similar to artemisinin, many of which have not even been tested for their anti-malarial activity?

It is possible that the pharmaceutical initiatives are focused on products that can be patented. In the meanwhile promising non-patentable solutions like the use of Raw Artemisia Annua tea (leaf Powder) or capsule (powder) are set aside while malaria continues to be the scourge of Sub-Saharan Africa. However, it is a known history that Artemisia Annua tea is being used in China to treat malaria for well over 2000 years.

It is also to the understanding of World Health Organization that other humanitarian organization like RITAM and ANAMED are working round the clock with possibly no funds at their disposal to work for entire humanity to get over malaria scourge ravaging the undeveloped world, Africa inclusive. The politics behind “Roll Back Malaria (RBM)” goes beyond under-developed worlds and that is why WHO will always be ready to discourage other well meaning organizations willing to permanently Roll Back Malaria for the under-develop worlds.

The future of artemisinin

Despite much research, artemisinin remains the only known natural product to contain a 1,2,4 -trioxane ring, and Artemisia plant continues to be its only known source. Although micro propagation of Artemisia can be easily accomplished, it is highly unlikely that this method will yield commercially viable artemisinin.

It appears that wild or field-cultivated Artemisia will be the only viable option for artemisinin in the foreseeable future. Therefore the requirement for increasing acreage under cultivation is of vital importance just as the need for improving the quality of the plant, as well as research for alternate solutions.

A Not-so-unique Approach to Development of Treatment for Malaria using Artemisinin compound

Several issues are related to pure artemisinin or its derivatives as a mono-therapy or as ACT, such as:

■ Short shelf life

■ Special storage requirements

■ Lower intestinal absorption

■ Dietary considerations unlikely to be met in majority of malaria endemic areas

■ Unsuitability for high risk populations: children under 5 years and pregnant woman

Besides the above adverse conditions, the primary shortcoming is due to ignoring potential therapeutic value of other endo-peroxides and hydro-peroxides contained in Artemisia plant in favour of selective extraction of artemisinin.

Following from the above assessment, a further three fundamental criterions were included:

1. The treatment should be FULLY EFFECTIVE with rapid resolution of symptoms for the entire population range including those at high levels of risk

2. The treatment should be AFFORDABLE & ACCESSIBLE worldwide to all under risk.

3. The treatment should have NO SIDE EFFECTS.

Part 1: Using Moringa and Artemisia Annua for Effective Treatments of Malaria, Cancer and HIV/AIDS

2012-07-01T00:52:00.002-07:00

Malaria is a dreaded disease and it is caused by a parasite called Plasmodium Falciparum, which is transmitted via the bites of an infected anopheles (female) mosquitoes. Malaria is said to be responsible for over two million deaths annually, it continue to hamper development of African continent due to lost time development factor. Sub-Sahara Africa has always been worst hit by malaria since it is one of the leading causes of death in children. These facts, makes malaria one of the most important health problems faced in the Sub Saharan Africa. Nigeria shoulders over 40 percent population capacity of this sub-continent.

This parasite attacks the human body and multiplies uncontrollably in the liver, and then infects red blood cells. Symptoms of malaria include fever, headache, nausea and vomiting, and usually appear between 10 and 15 days after the mosquito bite. If not treated, malaria can quickly become life-threatening by disrupting the blood supply to vital organs of the body.

The present increasing prevalence of multi-drug resistant strains of the parasite, with an attendant rise in resistant to treatment with several of the available drugs that used to be effective have made it necessary to keep looking for new sources of safer and effective treatments via drugs and various therapies. In many parts of the world, malaria is still being treated with orthodox and traditional medicine, otherwise called “combine therapy”. In advance economies combine therapies are always the best approach to treatments that are dreaded and complicated like cancer and related diseases. Plants have also, always been the source of important compounds of some presently available useful anti-malaria drug like quinine and artemisinin. The crude extract of cinchona tree bark and leaves of Artemisia annua were used successfully in the treatment of malaria infection, especially in south East Asia. China and Vietnam are very typical examples.

In a similar relationship, the transformation of a normal cell into a cancer cell can occur when the genetic material (deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA) of a cell is changed, or mutated. A tumor is the result of multiple gene mutations within a single cell. Years or decades before a tumor is formed in a tissue, a cell can become weakened by various factors, making it more susceptible to later transformation into a cancer cell. Cancer is often a disease of age, with many occurring after age fifty. Cancer is graded in stages, there are four stages. The first and second stage is determined by size of cancer, the third stage is by size and if it has traveled to other parts of the body, the fourth stage of cancer is the worst and it has gone to parts of the body. Cancer cells can divide abnormally and out of control. In which in a much generalized term is defined by abnormal uncontrolled cell growth.

Although cancer ravage cannot be compared to malaria ravage or as a prevalent in Africa, but it’s still poise another health challenge to our societies in Sub-Saharan Africa and due to lack of technology in this part of the world to tackle them, cancer patient are normally left on their own just as HIV/AIDS patients. This may be due to cultural and societal tendencies associated with these infectious diseases. As a result, cancer patients are often left to die when there are no huge sums of money for their treatment, most especially if patients are low income earners.

Cancer is becoming a prevalent health challenge to sub Saharan Africa, yet it is thought to have no name in most of over two thousand languages in Africa. But I know in Hausa land, it is called “Daji”. It is also expected that a million new cases are due to be reported in sub-Saharan Africa this year- a number predicted to double to 2 million a year, in the next decade due to recent economic advantages of this sub-continent.

Dr. David Kerr. A cancer specialist based at Britain's Oxford University and former president of the European Society of Medical Oncology, Kerr set up the charity AfrOx in 2007 to help African countries seek to prevent and control cancer.

"There have been some marvelously effective campaigns around AIDS, tuberculosis (TB) and malaria, and of course infectious diseases like those are terribly important," he said in an interview. "But already there are more deaths in the world from cancer than from AIDS, TB and malaria combined."

By 2030, according to predictions from the World Health Organisation (WHO), 70 percent of the world's cancer burden will be in poor countries, a prediction Kerr says leaves most lay people, and even many doctors, "utterly astonished".

"They think cancer is a disease of the wealthy. But the reality is that, in part because of success in tackling infectious diseases, Africans are living longer. It's almost a booby prize that they're now living long enough to get cancer."

For many women in Africa, that means diseases like breast and cervical cancer have become common causes of death before their victims have begun to learn about them, let alone find words for them.

A study published in 2011 found that since 1980 new cervical cancer case numbers and deaths have dropped substantially in rich countries, but increased dramatically in Africa and other poor regions. Overall, 76 percent of new cervical cancer cases are in developing regions, and sub-Saharan Africa already has 22 percent of all cervical cancer cases worldwide.

The same research found that some poorer countries saw a rise in breast cancer cases of more than 7.5 percent a year over the 30 year period studied - more than twice the global rate.

If we take the case HIV/AIDS, we all know that HIV/AIDS is dreaded disease to Sub-Saharan Africa. It has killed many countless number of people-Men, Women and Children of all ages. Today African leaders have nothing more to offer their citizen as far as HIV/AIDS is concern. It is a major public health concern and cause of death in many parts of Africa. Although Africa is home to about 14.5% of the world's population, it is estimated to be home to 69% of all people living with HIV and to 72% of all AIDS deaths in 2009.

The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) has predicted outcomes for the region to the year 2025. These range from a plateau and eventual decline in deaths beginning around 2012 to a catastrophic continual growth in the death rate with potentially 95 million cases of infection.

Without the kind of health care and medicines (such as anti-retroviral) that are available in developed countries, large numbers of people in Africa will develop AIDS. They will not only be unable to work, but will also require significant medical care. This will likely cause a collapse of economies and societies.

In an article titled "Death Stalks a Continent", Johanna McGeary attempts to describe the severity of the issue. “Society's fittest, not its frailest, are the ones who die—adults spirited away, leaving the old and the children behind. You cannot define risk groups: everyone who is sexually active is at risk. Babies too, [are] unwittingly infected by mothers. Barely a single family remains untouched. Most do not know how or when they caught the virus, many never know they have it, many who do know don't tell anyone as they lie dying.

In some African societies, infectious diseases like HIV/AIDS, cancer and other opportunistic infections like TB are believe to be a taboo to an infected patient, as such live the distressed patient to die as an outcast in that society. Because friends and families of the infected person deserts him like water evaporates from a sun dried leaf.
